It's better out West.
Adventures from our home in Colorado Springs and our cabin in the mountains. Gardening, prepping, dog wrangling, ranting, etc. I can't promise anything here is useful but it's our way-back machine.
You just might find some nice photo's, recipes, and ideas.

Update and unbiased awesome self shot photo's....

Mother in law is back home and ready to start the targeted radiation on the brain lesions on Friday (if all goes well with scheduling). She is just about back to normal, but that will only last so long without the radiation. As with all things in life, we have no idea how much quality time this will provide, but there are already talks of Hawaii and other things she has wanted to do but put off.
6 months, 1 year, 10 years... nobody knows so as with all things, we can only do the best in the time we are given. Last night was only the second time we were both home, sleeping in the same bed, in 2+ weeks.

Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers. I consider you all blogging friends and it does mean something when you post your thoughts.

In the meantime we did get away as I mentioned in a previous post for some cabin time. This included riding ATV's in the freezing cold and some scenery hunting. It was an easy hunt, I could take photo's all day of the area.
The difference between the two homesteads is amazing, the city one has almost all the leaves on the tree's still, most of the green. The cabin will have no leaves in another week and I've had the fireplace cranked up when we are hanging out there.

I've been focusing on adding to our preps and getting ready for winter. Black Friday sales will be here soon, I tend to do a large purchase of long term supplies during those sales (online only, not doing retail mob riots). We still have several hundred tomatoes on the vine, ripe ones are getting snacked on, green ones are awaiting salsa making. The weather shows about 2 more weeks before frost, so that's more taco toppings, salad fixings, etc. while we wait.

Here are some pictures out of the dozens and dozens. I'm going to get some printed and framed for the cabin, the walls are bare. I hope you have a good monitor, they look amazing on my iMac.
